Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Jakarta Metro Jaya Regional Police are reviewing standard operating procedures (SOP) for vehicle repossession after a violent clash during a motorcycle seizure in Kalibata, South Jakarta, that left two debt collectors dead following public concern over unsafe debt collection practices on public roads.

“Repossession must follow administrative procedures, not forced stops on the street,” Metro Jaya Head of Public Relations Senior Superintendent Budi Hermanto said on Saturday (13/12/2025), as reported by antaranews.com.

The incident occurred on Thursday night when an argument during a roadside repossession escalated into a mass assault and arson. Police said the case highlights systemic failures in how leasing companies deploy third-party debt collectors.

Authorities stressed that registered fiduciary objects should be resolved through office-based summons and negotiations, not physical interception. Police are coordinating with financing firms to tighten compliance, ensure clear work orders, and improve legal training for field officers.

Metro Jaya POlice urged the public to report forced repossessions via the 110 police hotline, while investigators continue probing criminal and ethical violations linked to the incident.
